That Metal Show Behind-The-Scenes And After Show Clips Featuring OVERKILL Frontman BOBBY "BLITZ" ELLSWORTH And QUIET RIOT Drummer FRANKIE BANALI Online

The final episode of Season 14 of VH1 Classic’s centerpiece in original programming That Metal Show welcomes Joe Elliott of Def Leppard, Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth of Overkill, and Frankie Banali of Quiet Riot. Bobby and Frankie sit down together with hosts Eddie Trunk, Don Jamieson, and Jim Florentine live in the TMS studio as the final guests of the season. Frankie talks about the success of the recent Quiet Riot documentary and the range of emotions he felt combing through the old footage of former singer, Kevin Dubrow. The hosts ask “Blitz” if he ever would want to do a documentary on Overkill and he said they wouldn’t. Blitz also says Overkill has gotten better with age due to his vaping of Red Bull and gasoline; and shares a hilarious story about the vitamin supplement Airborne ©.

Check out behind-the-scenes footage with Blitz below, and the weekly That After Show clip featuring Blitz, Banali and other guests.

The musical guest this week marks the return of TMS Alum and living legend, Billy Sheehan, of Mr. Big and The Winery Dogs. Eddie Trunk describes Billy to the audience as “the Jimi Hendrix of the bass guitar”. Billy tells us about the upcoming sophomore album by The Winery Dogs, how they played 101 shows on their last tour, and the bands’ upcoming tour plans in October. Billy even shares a story about being asked to join Van Halen and why he declined the opportunity TWICE! Billy’s playing is absolutely stellar throughout the show, and his second to last performance causes the entire panel, audience, and crew to give him a standing ovation, a That Metal Show first! The hosts then ask Billy to perform one more solo in lieu of The Throw Down to end the season, once again bringing the entire studio to a raucous standing ovation.

Billy joins guests Bobby and Frankie for Put It On The Table. The TMS Top 5 this week is sponsored by Just For Men © and prompts a discussion of the Top 5 Beards In Rock, in which Kerry King, John Petrucci, Zakk Wylde, and Rob Zombie all find their way into the discussion. Eddie faces some extremely difficult Stump The Trunk questions in the last show of the season, and for the Pick Of The Week the hosts pick their favorite recent reissues, and Jim Florentine didn’t get the memo since his choice isn’t even out yet.

Season 14 showcased some of the biggest names in music. This season featured Rush’s Geddy Lee, Metallica’s Kirk Hammett, Frank Bello/Charlie Benante/Scott Ian of Anthrax, John 5, Chris Jericho, Kerry King of Slayer, Dave Lombardo formerly of Slayer and now with Philm, Zakk Wylde, Michael Schenker, punk rock legend Marky Ramone, rap icon Darryl McDaniels of Run DMC, Gary Holt of Slayer/Exodus, Taylor Momsen of The Pretty Reckless, Max Cavalera, Ace Frehley, Mark Farner, Taime Downe of Faster Pussycat, Mark Slaughter and Andy Biersack of Black Veil Brides.
